Community Archaeology Forum launched - BAJR Host - 5th December 2006
The Council for British Archaeology is pleased to announce the launch of
the exciting new Community Archaeology Forum: CAF. For the first time,
community groups across the UK have their own dedicated online resource,
enabling them to share the results of their work online using innovative
wiki technology.
Users can create pages and upload material to gain a greater profile for
their project, to share ideas with others and to start discussions about
the interpretation of the material they have found. They may want to
look at other projects to get ideas about how to tackle their own
archaeological site, building or survey, or simply because they are
interested in what others have found.
Some may wish to create a page offering advice to others or
disseminating new research on Community Archaeology.
CAF is a developing resource and will, in time, contain advice and
guidance pages helping Community Archaeology projects to achieve high
standards of research, fieldwork and interpretation. Useful links,
suggested reading and other resources can be added.
In the full spirit of Community Archaeology, this is a shared resource
to be built collectively by anyone involved in community-related
archaeological work. It is not, however, meant as a formal and final
repository of archaeological data - merely a forum for displaying and
discussing work in progress.
If you'd like to take a look at CAF go to http://www.britarch.ac.uk/caf. You
can also follow the 'Discussion List' link to stay in touch with the
latest events and opinion in Community Archaeology.
